Employers should prioritise UAN activation and Aadhaar linkage for employees hired in the current financial year, focusing first on the latest recruits.
Why UAN activation is crucial
Universal Account Number (UAN) activation is mandatory to access EPFO services online. A UAN is a 12-digit number assigned by EPFO to eligible employees.
Activating it allows users to:
- Withdraw EPF funds online.
- Check EPF balance.
- Update contact details.
About the ELI scheme
The ELI scheme promotes formal-sector employment and enables direct benefit transfers (DBT) to employees’ Aadhaar-linked bank accounts.
Employees must have an activated UAN and Aadhaar-seeded bank account to qualify for benefits.
How to activate UAN online
New EPF members can activate their UAN online by following these steps:
- Visit the EPFO Member Sewa portal.
- Click on the ‘Activate UAN’ link under ‘Important Links.’
- Provide details like UAN, Aadhaar number, date of birth, and Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
- Agree to Aadhaar OTP verification and request the authorisation PIN.
- Enter the OTP received on the registered mobile number to complete activation.
